Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished

Capital Punishment Should Be Abolished Capital punishment is a brutal antiquated concept that must be

abolished in the name of civilised society. Each year in just America,

the land of freedom + the just, 650 people r added 2 the death row +

105 r executed. The death penalty is the harshest form of punishment

in the world today. Once the jury has proved a criminal guilty they go

to the second part of the trial - the punishment phase. The

enforcement of c p is a sadistic and macabre activity, which appeals

to the more grim aspects of humane nature: wrath and malice.

Capital punishment violates the right to live, a right everyone has

even if they r mass murderers. No person shud b killed 4 a crime, no

matter how bad the crime is, cos 2 wrongs don't make a right. There is

no such thing as a humane way of putting sum1 2 death.

I feel that capital punishment shud b made illegal in not just

America, but the whole world. The reasons 4 this r firstly that there

is the possibility of executing some1 who is innocent. If this does

happen, it cannot b undone- whereas if the person had been put in

jail, they cud have been released and given compensation.

Secondly, I think that the death penalty is not a punishment cos the

criminal is not here 2 b punished like if he/she was in jail with the

poor living conditions and no freedom.

The 1's who r sentenced 2 death are normally hanged. This method often

doesn't kill the criminal straight away, but lets them dangle on the

rope around their neck, until they die of strangulation, slowly and

painfull...

...natives to c.p. 4m life imprisonment, 4 major

crimes, 2 community service and fines 4 less major crimes, such as

shoplifting.

Punishment is ment 2 b 4 the protection of society. It claims 2 b a

deterrent to other potential criminals. C p is a failure in these

respects. It duz remove the culprit from repeating the crime, but this

is of very small account cos murders hardly ever come as a string of

continuous repeated acts. U must voice u're opposition b4 u pay dearly

4 it.

Barbarians, that's wot we have become, barbarians. We kill each other

and instead of mourning the tragedy, we want 2 satisfy our bloodlust

by killing the murderer. We must lern 2 deal with these people while

we have control over them. Yes, we shud punish them, but do not become

them. Otherwise, what difference is there between us the criminal?
